ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Early identification of psychosocial distress and the impact of cachexia allows for timely interventions to improve symptoms. Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) add value to patients and healthcare organizations. Their true power lies in the ability to cross-reference them with clinical data. This enables the identification of critical points and areas for improving the quality of care processes.
Nutritional intervention in selected cancer patients provides significant benefits for aspects such as emotional functioning, dyspnea, loss of appetite, and overall health status.
Therefore, we propose to evaluate the satisfaction level of patients who have undergone nutritional intervention during active oncological treatment.
Methodology:
Exploratory retrospective analysis of satisfaction levels regarding nutritional intervention in cancer patients treated at the Oncology Day Hospital of the University Hospital Doctor Peset in Valencia, between January 2022 and January 2023.
Results:
A total of 93 patients were included. A questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was developed and offered to the last 50 included patients. Twenty-eight (56%) responded voluntarily and anonymously. In 95% of cases, nutritional intervention was evaluated satisfactorily.
Conclusions:
Early identification of malnutrition and timely intervention have a favorable impact on patient satisfaction levels.
